Capture and restore content by using the Web site delete event (Search Server 2008)

Draft content This article was published for an earlier version of this product and is being published without changes for this release.

When a site is deleted, SharePoint Products and Technologies generates a Web Delete event. Microsoft IT (MSIT) has created Microsoft IT Site Delete Capture Feature 1.0 to detect and capture the content from the Web Delete event. When a Web Delete event is detected, the feature archives the site to a file share before the site is removed from the configuration database and the content database. Deleted sites are saved as .bak files in the specified backup directory. You then can use the restore Stsadm operation to restore a site. You can also configure the feature to send e-mail messages when a site has been archived and deleted or if the site was unable to be archived. The Microsoft IT Site Delete Capture Feature 1.0 is available from CodePlex governance.

This tool is not part of SharePoint Products and Technologies, and might not be updated. This tool is built on supported Microsoft technologies, but it is not supported by Microsoft.
